President Donald Trump said Hungarians are "my kind of people" when Vice President JD Vance called Trump on the phone during a stump speech for Viktor Orban in Hungary on Tuesday.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán conceded defeat Sunday in the country’s parliamentary election, calling the result "clear" and "painful" as partial vote counts showed a decisive win for opposition leader Péter Magyar.
Magyar said Orbán phoned him to concede, according to a post on social media.
